It's already carnival!

Little by little, São Paulo returns to the carnival atmosphere. This and the next few weeks, street blocks are holding open rehearsals and parties as a “warm-up” for what is to come in February, with options mainly concentrated on weekends.

Events are generally held indoors and with an entry fee. For the blocks, the agendas are opportunities both to prepare technically and financially for the parades and a way to reconnect with the public after two years without an official street carnival. Since 2020, this is the first pre-carnival without the restrictions of the pandemic and with a more controlled number of hospitalizations due to Covid-19. (Estadão)
